5.0 out of 5 stars Superb and sublime, 17 Nov 2008
By K. Platt "blackplantlady" (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Lynne Edwards is a renowned name in quilting, both as an inspirational teacher and an artist. She has won many awards. In this book she fully explores one of the loveliest and one of her favourite quilting techniques - Cathedral Windows.
This glorious book shows over 25 projects from heirloom quilts, wall hangings, cushions, bags and quick to make pincushions. Often in a book of this kind, with work shown by the author and other collaborative artists, you can sometimes find that you only like one or two projects. That is not the case with this book. All the projects are exciting and will inspire you to get stitching straight away. These projects are very adaptable too. If you are new to quilting, start with one of the smaller projects. I'm sure this book will soon have you hooked. For beginners and experienced quilters alike, the instructions are easy-to-follow with clear diagrams and good photos of the finished projects.
Lynne Edwards and the other artists involved in this book, bring a beautiful sense of colour to the projects that the non-colorist can imitate. Lynne shares her secrets on making borders for this type of quilting, which is usually a borderless technique because of the way it is made. The basic method is explored further with suggestions on how to expand or simplify the technique. Learn the tips, techniques and short cuts of a true professional.
The one square folded cathedral window, the folded flowers, windmills and more have become favourites with me. This is a fascinating book with many projects that will keep you busy and inspire you to think up your own designs. I know I shall be trying quite a few. Surprisingly, there is no suppliers' list in this 138 page book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book every quilter should own, 2 Mar 2009
By Mrs. H. M. Pearson "patchwitch" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book because it was recommended by a friend and I have not been disappointed. The book is a visual feast from cover to cover and the instructions are top class as well. Often one gets one and not the other!

The lack of supplier list did not worry me as I have been quilting for many years and already had most of the items needed (not that there are
many anyway). The only item I didn't have was the rectangle tool and Lynne provides a template for that so it is easy enough to make your own if you wish.

The new techniques for one piece and many piece units which can be joined to other patchwork pieces were an eye opener. I have already made trial blocks and found some shortcuts (and ways to save fabric) myself.

I am very happy with this book even though I probably won't make a traditional cathedral window quilt I hope to make something using the one piece technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars cathedral window quilts, 11 Jun 2009
By Liz Shirley (Tavistock, Devon) - See all my reviews
The book arrived almost by return of post. I had no idea you can do so much with what is really covering a square of material with a larger square of material. I can't wait to blatently copy the Flowering Folds wall hanging and then I will read the book to learn how to do it properly. It really is a super book which has stopped me finishing a quilt made out of old shirts. Maybe I'll make a Cathedral Windows wall hanging from carefully selected old shirts!
